The Gold Coast Beach Parade is set to go ahead this month as a major community event to reunite the region after COVID-19 restrictions, floods and bushfires.

The event will be sponsored by Queensland businesses and brands and will be raising funds for the Currumbin Wildlife Hospital to save koalas. 

A world record attempt will be made for the most people wearing koala ear visors in a beach walk in hopes to put a spotlight on the Gold Coast. Thousands are expected to take part in the walk in an attempt to raise funds for the koalas.
